Like me, you probably have watched the devastation in New Orleans this past week. What is even more disheartening has been the outbreak of violence that many have said is worse than the actual storm. More...

Shawn has called us to be a blessing. And it might be that our first thought is to look for a person or group that needs a blessing. Lord knows, these last weeks have brought forward many that need an abundance of blessing through our prayers and our wallets. More...

Summer has been fun and busy for the worship team, yet also filled with challenges and pain. We kicked off our summer with some great team events. Scheduling team times together helped us stay connected as we all tend to go our own separate ways and disconnect with one another during these busy months. More...

Hope everyone had a great summer. We in Five17 had a blast! From the pool to the beach to the redwood forest, from working hard for the City of Clayton to playing hard at Great America there was never a dull moment. And we have an exciting year ahead of us beginning with a Fall Schedule that seeks to bless our surrounding community. More...

At this year’s Adventure Camp, Prayer Safari, we became a blessing to underprivileged students in the Bay Area through City Teams school supply drive. More...

What an amazing summer we had this year!  We met every Tuesday at the church offices for our bible studies and we are looking forward to restarting on Wednesdays after school from 3:30-5pm. Our Great America Day and Capitola Day was so much fun and our Thursdays spent at Diamond Terrace doing nails for the elderly was a definite highlight! More...

If you have never been involved in a women’s bible study or small group, now is the time! Being in one of these groups is a great day to grow deeper in your relationship with God while connecting with other women. More...

We had a busy and a fun filled summer; here’s what we’ve been up to and what’s coming up: * The first Men’s Ministry golf tournament was held on July 23 @ the Boundary Oaks golf course in Walnut Creek. We had about 30 players show up, had a lot of fun and fellowship, and the best news is we raised $700 for the Missions Ministry. More...

This fall, please watch for us under the bright blue Life Development tent. We would be happy to discuss what we do and services we provide. Should you be interested in joining our team, we’d be happy to discuss that too. Our many ministries include: More...

I remember I was puttering around in my kitchen one afternoon when I heard the jangle of keys and clattering of the front door being opened. Our middle son, Kian, came bursting in, plopped his backpack down, kicked off his flip-flops and stomped upstairs with a puzzled (and annoyed!) expression on his face. More...

The Dance Ministry at Clayton Community Church is in constant motion! As in dance, some movements are fun and joyful while others express deeper, more difficult feelings. This new season, the ministry sends off two of our beautiful, beloved dancers, Anna Gibbons and Amy Cleland to Cal Poly and Questa College. More...

I am so glad to have an opportunity to say "Hi" to you.  I have not seen many of you for several months.  It actually feels like much longer! After a year of doing chemotherapy, every two weeks, with only one five week break, I have become tired.  It is not that my faith has failed me or that I'm not still standing in it, in fact it is much deeper and stronger than it was before.

My name is Annette Fregosa. I'm 45, divorced, and have two boys, one 23 and one 16. I live with my youngest son, Bob Tindall, in Concord. I'm the CEO of my home and I'm on Social Security Disability due to my bad back. This has been and is a blessing in disguise, for I've been able to be home and do all I can with Bob to ensure him being a great Christian man. More...

For six traumatizing days, Shiprah Benlevi Downing and her husband Lloyd Coffey Jr. lived in New Orlean’s Superdome with little to care for their 4-month-old child. The power went out, water and toilets quit working, and violence erupted. “No one was safe,” Lloyd said. “It was every man for himself.” An airlift and a bus ride later, this young family is finding new hope in Texas, where they were greeted by World Vision volunteers.
